Background

Eargo, known for its discreet, in-the-ear design and rechargeable battery system, has introduced a new addition to its lineup in early 2024: Eargo LINK. Departing from its traditional form factor, Eargo LINK adopts a more earbud-like appearance, aiming to address a longstanding challenge faced by the company – Bluetooth streaming capabilities. While Eargo has earned acclaim for its invisible in-the-ear designs, integrating Bluetooth streaming into such small devices has proven elusive. It’s worth noting, Bluetooth streaming is not commonly found in invisible hearing aids. LINK is Eargo’s move to bridge the gap between hearing aid-level sound algorithms and modern Bluetooth functionality.

What's New

Priced at $799, Eargo LINK enters the market as a more budget-friendly option compared to its counterparts, Eargo SE at $1,699 and Eargo Seven at $2,950. This competitive pricing reflects Eargo's entry into a densely populated market of earbud-style devices, including competitors like Jabra Enhance Plus, Sony, CRE-E10, and even AirPods Pro. Unlike traditional Eargo devices that use a hearing test for customization, Eargo LINK offers four preset programs designed to accommodate the majority of users' hearing profiles. Eargo LINK uses Bluetooth 5.3 technology which ensures connectivity with Android and iPhone devices, delivering an experience akin to popular wireless earbuds. Of course, the most interesting part of Eargo’s new devices is their combination of top-end sound algorithms with a solid Bluetooth device.

The Details

Stream phone calls and music with Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity (Android or iPhone)
Benefit from features such as Active Noise Cancellation, Noise Reduction, and Feedback Cancellation for enhanced listening experiences
Enjoy extended listening sessions with up to 9 hours of runtime on a single charge
Directional microphones aid in focusing on sounds in front of you, improving clarity in noisy environments
Eargo LINK is sweat and splash-resistant with an IP54 rating
Ready to use out of the box with four preset listening programs tailored to different hearing profiles

Our Take

Eargo LINK offers an intriguing solution for users seeking Bluetooth functionality. The device combines hearing aid-level sound management algorithms with a modern Bluetooth feature set. We believe this product is ideal for activities such as watching TV or navigating challenging auditory environments. However, for those planning to wear hearing aids consistently throughout the day, Eargo SE or Eargo Seven will provide a more customized sound experience and a more comfortable fit.

"People have no idea I'm even wearing them. I can tell they are helping me because, when I put them in when the TV is on, the TV is automatically louder. I've had issues with charging them."

— James G

"I can hear waaaaay better with closed petals and in ear canal aids than I did for 14 years with BTEs"

— Dianne K.

"Your devices could help me hear voices better. Also, they are kind of piece-y and delicate."

— Paul C.

"Not much of a difference between programs noted - volume adjustment needs more up/down control"

— Roland R.

"I have used top brand hearing aids, and none have compared to Eargo in hearing quality and comfort. Eargo has hit a Home Run in the Hearing Aid Arena!!!"

— Ronnie K

"It takes awhile to get used to the ear buds in your ears. Also, it takes a bit to figure out just how to adjust the settings for the sound in each ear."

— Dara B

"They fit in the ear canal so nice you don't even know they are there so comfortable"

— James G.

"My Background: As a Navy Hospital Corpsman and paramedic, years of loud noise exposure led me to moderate-to-severe hearing loss. I wear expensive, top-of-the-line hearing aids. Link by Eargo: While not powerful enough for my severe hearing loss, the Link by Eargo impressed me. These earbuds excel as a solution for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. Sound Quality: The Link boasts impressive sound quality. Compared to standard earbuds, they allow me to enjoy clearer audio at a much lower volume. Dual Functionality: The Link by Eargo offers two key things: * Hearing Aid Mode: Provides amplification for those who qualify. (For me, program 4 worked best.) * Listening Mode: Functions like high-quality earbuds for music, audiobooks, etc. Backup Benefit: If your primary hearing aids require service or you experience an unexpected issue, the Link by Eargo can serve as a reliable backup. Overall: While not a replacement for powerful hearing aids, the Link by Eargo offers several advantages: * Excellent sound quality at lower volumes (ideal for those with mild-moderate hearing loss) * Dual functionality: hearing aid mode and listening mode * Reliable backup option for those with primary hearing aids"

— James

"This is a great device. Hearing greatly improved, Bluetooth that is welcome feature. It paired to my iPhone with no problem,. One tap and it plays my music. The sound is very goood. Just one complaint .- battery only good for about 5 hours. But it does recharge very quickly."

— Getrforth

"I love it that I can listen to streams (in my case audiobooks from the library) and then instantly switch to hearing aid mode by simply pausing or ending the stream."
